About this landscape rock
Smooth tumbled river rock, heavy enough to stay put in drainage runs and handsome enough for beds and borders.

How Much Landscape Rock Do I Need?
At a standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet, so a typical 600 square foot front yard bed runs close to 4 cubic yards. If you want a slightly heavier 3 inch depth for better weed suppression, plan on roughly a third more material. Measure your bed square footage first, then work backward from there rather than guessing.

One of the easiest customer service experiences I've had in a long time! Mulch Mound made it so simple. After putting it off for a while, I looked at the weather and knew I needed to get to mulching ASAP before the rain came if I didn't want to wait another week. I put my order in for the next day online and they came right at 9 AM. The employee who dropped off the mulch did a great job, putting it right on the tarp I laid out, she even made sure none of it got on the yard and double checked the truck bed to make sure it all came out. The mulch was exactly what I needed and arrived right on time.

We have always spread our own mulch for the past 24 years. This was our first time with the Mulch Mound - things I liked: they have online ordering and provide a digital receipt which means you can remember how much you ordered (I always forget for the next year!), they were on time, they were able to deliver in 48 hours, they were generous with the portion (we got 9 yards and it felt like a FULL nine yards!), the driver was polite! We have ordered from reputable places, and there is always a little trash in the mulch. The mulch we recv'd from Mulch Mound had barely any... we were pleasant surprised!!! Color was great! Not to mention - the price was competitive and LOWER than other mulch places around. We will use again !! Highly recommend! Thanks Mulch Mound!
Complete Your Outdoor Project
Most rock installs here go down over landscape fabric, so budget for that if you don't already have it on hand. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating onto walkways and driveways, which matters more in a sandy soil that shifts. If you have planting pockets within the rock bed, a bag or two of compost for those specific spots gives plants something rock alone will never provide.
Service area
Areas we deliver landscape rock in Buckeye, Arizona
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
In sandy loam like Buckeye's, skip the cheap perforated weed fabric and use a woven landscape fabric rated for at least a decade. Sandy soil lets weed roots find any gap in cheap fabric within a year or two, and once weeds get established under rock, pulling them means moving the rock aside by hand. Spend a bit more on the fabric now, it is the one layer you cannot easily redo later.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
The most common mistake in this area is installing rock right up against block wall foundations without a gap or drainage consideration. Buckeye gets hard, fast summer monsoon bursts, and rock packed tight against a wall can direct water where you don't want it. Leave a couple inches of clearance and a slight grade away from the structure before you spread the final layer.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
If you're covering a large lot, consider mixing rock sizes rather than ordering all one product, a coarser base layer under a decorative top layer uses less of the pricier decorative material while still looking finished. This also gives better long term stability against wind, which matters on open desert lots where loose fines can blow around before they settle in.
Decorative Stone in Buckeye
Buckeye's sandy loam drains so well that mulch and organic groundcovers break down and wash thin within a season or two, which is part of why rock has become the default here. At 888 feet with long, hot stretches before and after the mild winter frost window, rock does not compost, does not attract termites, and does not need replacing every year like a bark product would. A lot of homeowners near Skyline Regional Park are matching rock tones to the natural desert palette rather than fighting it. It works well as a permanent groundcover over fabric, though it will trap blown-in leaves and dust that you will need to blow or rake out occasionally.
What Landscape Rock Is
Landscape rock is stone chosen for how it looks as much as what it does. River rock is smooth and rounded, decomposed granite is fine and packs firm underfoot. Both are sold by the cubic yard for beds, borders, paths, and dry creek beds.
River Rock vs Decomposed Granite
River rock stays loose and rolls, so it suits beds, borders, and drainage runs where it can sit in place. Decomposed granite compacts into a firm surface, so it suits paths, patios, and anywhere you will walk or roll a wheelbarrow.
Depth and Coverage
Spread river rock 2 to 3 inches deep over landscape fabric so it stays put and weeds stay down. Lay decomposed granite 3 to 4 inches deep, wet it, and compact it in lifts for a surface that sheds water instead of rutting.
